NOTE FROM THE COMPILER. 



To our Southern Friends : 

The information contained in " Summer in the Winter Time" is taken 
from data received direct from residents of the localities described, and 
in some cases received only after several requests for such information. 
In most instances the information has been freely and fully given, and the 
tender of assistance in the work has been so warmly expressed, that we feel 
greatly indebted for the proffer. 

It may be that some will think we have not said enough about cer- 
tain localities, and too much about others ; if so, we plead the use only of 
" official " information — in some cases very meagre, and in others too volum- 
inous to reprint in full; yet we have tried to use such, stating the salient 
points. 

IMPORTANT. — That our next edition may be more complete, we 
ask our Southern friends to criticise this work carefully and freely, and 
call our attention to anything needing correction, reduction, or addition. 
Every criticism shall receive careful consideration. Of course, we all ap- 
preciate that we want to give all the "facts in the case," but want to put 
them as briefly and tersely as possible.

THE CITY OF SAVANNAH. 



This beautifiil Southern city, with it? wide, shaded streets, its beauti- 
ful parks, its pleasant homes, delightful drives, and its spacious modern 
hotels, is well worth many days travel merely to see. One is amply re- 
paid such a trip; and for any one going South, without spending at least 
a few days in Savannah, there is an omission in the trip which will 
always be regretted. 

Savannah is one of the oldest cities in the " States," settled in 1733 ; 
has a record, during the Revolutionary days, of which every Savannahian 
is proud, as evinced by the Greene Monument, the Jasper Monument, and 
the Pulaski Monument. 

To the Northerner, Savannah has peculiar attractions — all pronounc- 
ing it "That Beautiful City." The drive to Thunderbolt, over the shell 
road, passing Cathedral Cemetery, Bonaventure, and Greenwich Park, 
with glimpses of Thunderbolt River, is very pleasant. And then a visit 
should be paid to see the beauties of Bonaventure, one of the most 
naturally attractive spots in this whole country, with its mighty yet 
graceful oaks, with their beautiful drapery of Spanish moss spreading their 
boughs and superb foliage over the wide avenues. While Bonaventure 
alone is sufficient to induce a visit to Savannah, there are, besides, many 
other attractive spots, among which may be noted Thunderbolt, Green- 
wich Park, Tybee Beach, Isle of Hope, Montgomery, Beaulieu, and White 
Bluff, all having their special claims. 

Throughout the city are numerous lovely parks and spacious public 
squares, bordered by stately private residences and other imposing build- 
ings. One of the finest and most complete hotels in the United States is 
located here. This attractive "Forest City" may equally well be called 
"The Monumental City." Its memorials to heroes, linked with its history 
from the hour of the city's birth on the lofty bluff amid the friendly 
Yamacraws, mark a grateful people. Greene, Pulaski, Jasper, and Gordon 
still stand before their eyes in stone and brass. The Confederate soldier, 
with his comrades fallen at Gettysburg, is commemorated by afiecting and 
appropriate monumental art. 

A native Canadian, who has recently visited Savannah, upon being 
pressed for an opinion, says: "I am a Canadian, and consequently have 
attended Canadian (not American) collegiate institutes where the history 
of our own and mother countries has been taught, and all historical facts 
connected with our Southern neighbors overlooked. I cannot, therefore, 
say anything (original) suitable for publication on such an historical city 
as Savannah ; but, between ourselves, I must say I was delighted, in the 
fullest sense of the word, with the city, the l3e Soto, &c. O ! do not 
overlook the cemetery : it is well worth a visit, and, without doubt, one 
of the finest sights in the world."

ticket agent you -wish to go via The Savauiiali Line of 

Steamers, because the purchase of a through ticltet via 
that line includes meals and berth, and all the luxury of 
a first-class hdtel without additional expense, affording 
am])le time for meals; the cry "twenty minutes for dinner" 
is unheard; ample space in saloons and on promenades 
for relaxation, rest, comfort, and pleasure. 

A trip to Florida or any point South, via The Savan- 
nah Line, means a variety of travel, including, as it does, 
a short sea trii) (48 to 60 hours) on the linest and fastest 
passenger steamships in the American Merchant Marine, 
and also a rail trip on lines second to none in equipment, 
speed, and safety. 

The Savannah Line has passenger steamers from 
both New York and Boston, and freight steamers from Phila- 
delphia. 

Steamers leave New York from New Piers 34 and 35, 
North River, foot of Canal and Spring Streets, four times 
each week (Mondays, AVednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays) 
at 3 P. M. 

Steamers leave Boston from Lewis Wharf every four 
days at 3 P. M. Sailing schedules will be sent to any 
address any time, or regularly every month, if desired. 

Om- hundred and fifty pounds of baggage on whole 
tickets, and 75 on half tickets, will be checked free of 
charge. 

Children under five years of age, free ; between five 
and twelve, half fare ; over twelve, full fare. 

The rail connections at Savannah are very complete 
and perfect ; the Central R. R. of (jreorgia, with its con- 
nections, reaching directly all points in Georgia, Alabama, 
Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and the South-west gen- 
erally. The Savannah, Florida & Western Railway (The 
Plant System) has direct trains to South-west Georgia and 
all through Florida.

THE ROUTE TO THE SOUTH 
VIA SAVANNAH. 



That Savaiiiiali, Ga., is really the gate to that land where we 
find Summer in the Winter Time, will be seen by a glance at the map 
below. Once upon a time "all roads led to Rome;" so now all roads in 
the Summer Land lead to Savannah.

The very fact that "The Savannah Line" can profitably equip 
and maintain ten (10) of the finest passenger steamships in the 
American Merchant Marine, representing an aggregate tonnage of twenty- 
seven thousand four hundred tons, is substantial evidence that Savannah is 
the natural port to that section.

SUMMER IN THE WINTER TIME. 13 

The importance of Savannah's steamship service and connections may 
be instantly grasped by a few figures. 

In the 12 months of the last business year there were 35 sailings per 
month of large coastwise steamers to New York, Boston, Philadelphia, 
and Baltimore, and as many arrivals from those ports, a total of more 
than 300 arrivals and departures each way per annum. This great fleet 
was, in the same period, supijlemented by 101 large ocean steamers 
clearing direct from Savannah for foreign ports. 

The steamships of The Savannah Line perform the service all the 
year : four sliips each week from and to New York ; one, every four days, 
from and to Boston; one, every ten days (for freight), from and to Phil- 
adelphia (Philadelphia i)assengers are booked via New York). 

THE FLEET 

Consists of the First-class Steamships

In the construction of these vessels no expense has been spared tliat 
would conduce to the 

Comfort, Security, and Ease 

of the traveler. The hulls and decks are of iron and steel. The state- 
rooms contain two roomy berths eacli, and are much more commodious 
than the accommodations furnished in the finest foreign steamships. 

The Table d'Hote includes the delicacies of both the 
Northern and Southern Markets. 

The officers or agents of the Company, named on page 6 of this book, 
will take pleasure in answering all inquirers desiring information as to 
passage or freight.

W, D. Allen, Ticket Agent, Union Depot; F. J. Ballavd, Ticket Agent, Tonce De Leon 

or St. Augustine Improvement Co., will give information. 
Tlie Ponce De I.eon is one of the finest hotels in the world; in fact, none excel it 
anywhere. Built in the style of the early Spanish renaissance, strongly influ- 
enced by the Moorish spirit, "The eye travels from the gateway in the centre of the 
one-story portico up to the corner turrets of the wings, then back to the high walls 
of the main building and up to the great dome, surmounted by its graceful lantern, 
and so on and up to the huge corner towers that rise one hundred and fifty feet into 
the clear, blue sky." The material is a shell composite, of a light mother-of-pearl 
color, ornamented" with terra colta. The loggias overhang the difierent faoades, with 
their quaint woodwork worn, resembling somewhat tlie houses in the old town. 

In speaking of the construction of this hotel, the word bulU would be improper,— 
it was cast— the shell and cement being poured in a mould while soft, and rammed 
into proper position within its mould. The courts are the most beautiful and tastily 
arranged gardens of flowers, evergreens, walks, fountains, and, in fact, recall all the 
stories of childhood days of "good fairies" and their abodes. The interior, with its 
complete and elegant finish, lavish display of the very finest works of art, is beyond 
description in the small space at command here. To quote a friend, "Think of all 
the wonderfully beautiful things you have read, heard, or dreamed of, then see the 
'Ponce,' and you will say 'its more than that.'" H. M. Flagler, Owner; 0. D. Seavey,

Florida & Western Ry. (the Plant system), find an outlet to the North 
and East and the foreign ports of the world.

THE PLANT SYSTEM OF RAILWAY AND STEAMSHIP LINES. 



116 SUMMER IN THE WINTER TIME. 



HUNTING IN GEORGIA. 

There is no general or State law governing the hunting season, and the 
several local or county laws on the subject are not uniform as to dates of 
opening and closing. More attention is paid to such- matters on the seaboard 
than elsewhere ; and in the neighborhood of Savannah and counties adja- 
cent the season for deer, partridges, wild turkeys, ducks, &c. opens October 
1st, and closes April 1st following. From April to October hunting is 
prohibited. 



HUNTING IN FLORIDA. 

The following are the salient points of the Game Laws of Florida, as 
recently enacted and now in force : — 

No person shall chase or kill wil<l deer, in any pai-t of the Stiite, for more 
than four months in any year. The boards of county commissioners shall 
indicate the opening and closing of the season in their several counties. 
Should the commissioners in any county fail to designate the hunting period 
the same shall be in each county during the months of November, Decem- 
ber, January, and February. No person shall hunt or kill any wild turkey, 
quail, or partridge, in any part of this State, save only from the first diiy 
of November until the first day of March. 



THE Savannah line Steamers are the Finest.
